Greg Mendez Shares Two New Singles

Perhaps it’s unfair to work Greg Mendez‘s name into the realm of Elliott Smith, but when you listen to these new tracks, you’re really going to find it hard to ignore the similarities, particularly on “Gentle Love.” Whether it’s the fragility in Greg’s voice or the lightness of the strum being brought into the mix, you’re going to find yourself wishing you were in a quiet listening space while Greg quietly offers his vision. “Frog” is a bit more of an experimental piece, almost like a little sampling of where Mendez’s brain was during the writing process; I hope that the frog has forgiven him. Beauty Land is out on May 29th via Dead Oceans.

Greg Mendez Announces Beauty Land

A strong day for songwriters on the site, now with Greg Mendez announcing his new album, Beauty Land. I always tend to marvel at how impactful the work of Greg is, particularly when he delivers such emotion in a short span of time. I know it’s particularly unfair to Greg, but the way the recording highlights the fragility of his voice mixed in with the heavy strum of the strings on the guitar. There’s a little trickle of piano added in, with Mendez intent upon maximizing the emotional tug; he’s such a magician with these slight details he builds into his work. Beauty Land is his debut for Dead Oceans, and it hits on May 29th.
